Hi Todd,
It's possible that you may need a more current version of libtool (I
have 1.4.3 and
there is now a 1.5 available) or that your m4 installation is broken. I
just did a
fresh checkout and configuration on my Linux box with no problems. Here is
what the normal output looks like:
artemis [~/blitz-dev/blitz] autoreconf -fiv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is created
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
autoreconf: running: aclocal --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is unchanged
autoreconf: running: /cacr/home/user/cummings/bin/autoconf --force
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Autoheader
autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
configure.in: installing `./missing'
benchmarks/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
autoreconf: Leaving directory `.'
I do not have the symlink that Fernando Perez mentioned in his reply,
although I do have
a libtool.m4 file in /usr/local/share/aclocal. I believe this file is
used as the basis for the
aclocal.m4 file that is created locally in the blitz directory. The
bootstrap script that
Robert Techentin mentioned might be helpful, although I think it does
more or less what
is done by saying "autoreconf -fiv".
Patrick Guio, who is helping me with Blitz maintenance, did most of the
mods to use the
standard autoconf tools. I agree that using libtool here is a bit of
overkill, since the actual
Blitz library is pretty trivial and almost all the action is in the
header files. But it *really*
does all work if your GNU tools are properly installed and up to date.
Of course, a more
intelligent version of "make" would make everything much easier.
Regards, Julian C.
